Game launcher

Tip

Mod Organizer 2 automatically creates an SKSE launcher when started, if such a launcher is not present and MO2 finds the skse64_loader.exe in the game folder.

However, if an SKSE launcher is found, it is not updated, so any changes done to it, like making it hidden, are preserved.

if the SKSE launcher is not present, restart MO2
rename the SKSE launcher however you like and move it at the top
add it to the tool bar by clicking the Shortcut button and selecting Toolbar and Menu
